Flower Quote by David Carlyle
““We can either fill our minds and chatter to ourselves about issues and people while we are gardening, or we can simply enjoy cutting the flowers, watering the plants and doing the gardening. It is for lack of a simpler term referred to as simply being in the moment, being connected with what you are doing at the moment.””
